Celebratory Event

Henna Party is a sumptuous feast for the senses, featuring an afternoon of delicious food and pure pampering. On the menu are a variety of Indian treats: Baby semolina cakes tempered with brown mustard, hand made Samosas served with mint and tamarind chutneys for dipping and a pitcher of cold Indian style coffee. The biggest hits: delicately spiced Shrimp Fritters and Mango Lassi - a milky palate-cooling drink that complements the fritters.

Of course, the day's true extravagance are the henna artists ready to work their magic. Henna is an all-natural dye that can be applied to the skin in a variety of motifs, from simple symbols of friendship to intricate, purely ornamental patterns, all in a gorgeous crimson amber color that stays on for about two weeks. Having it applied is like spending time in a luxurious spa. The dye has a cooling effect on the skin that, coupled with an earthy aroma, is truly therapeutic: a soothing way to celebrate the beauty of gathering of friends and family.
